We have developed an HDTV high speed camera that uses three CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image devices. The camera can shoot at maximum speed of 300 fps (frames/second) and the images are stored directly to the semiconductor memories in the camera head. Slow motion playback is available with a high picture quality as the image sequence is stored with progressive scan and without compression (R:G:B=4:4:4). The compact, lightweight, handheld camera can be controlled from a CCU (Camera Control Unit) with a single standard HDTV hybrid fiber-optic camera cable.
